Archaeologists in Germany announced on Thursday the discovery of axes and sickles dating back to the Bronze Age in a field in the northern part of the country. Archaeologist Mischild Freudenberg, responsible for the Bronze Age artifacts at the archaeological museum in the city of Schleswig, stated, "Without a doubt, these tools date back to the Bronze Age, around 1500 to 1300 BC, some of which were used and are still sharp."
The collection was discovered at the end of September by two licensed individuals using metal detectors, working with permission from the landowners, near the town of Wardorf an der Schlei. After finding two bronze axes, they stopped digging and reported to local authorities. So far, the team has uncovered four axes, a spear, and seven sickles, which were scattered throughout the field due to agricultural activity over the years.
